Harper's Island

It's just started on BBC3 on this side of the pond, and I was wondering if anyone watched it when it aired on CBS, and if it's any good.

I'm three minutes in and it already feels very American, but I'll try and persist.

Ooooh! Mexican Trumpet.

It was... interesting. It's got a bit of promise, so I'll keep watching - hopefully it will get better.

I can tell it's American, which in itself is interesting in that the difference between an English/British programme and an American programme are so obviously noticeable.

The second episode was a lot better than the first, and I must say that the naming of the episodes after the sound made during each murder is novel, and somewhat amusing.

It still feels American, but I suppose that can't be helped. I'll watch the third on iPlayer after Sunday, and get back to you all on it.

Did anyone else watch them?

Epsiode three was titled "Ka-blam", which made the murder weapon quite obvious. Well, the same could be said for episode two ("Crackle"), really.

Anyway, I'm starting to enjoy it more, but I find one thing incredibly unbelievable. The island is tiny, by my count there have been five murders (four on the island), but only one has been discovered. Hell, two of the wedding party have disappeared, yet no-one's said anything!

I've started playing a little game - I try to predict who'll be dead by the end of the episode after watching the first five or ten minutes. So far I've got none right. I'll get there eventually, though, particularly as the cast of characters is getting smaller in each episode.

Results from my game:

Episode Four - I failed.
Episode Five - took me a while, but I got it.
Episode Six - I failed.

I'm really getting into it now - the story is becoming more gripping, and as the wedding party has finally found a couple of bodies, things are getting much more... thrilling!

I must remember that two episodes are shown every Sunday night, not just the one.

For some reason when I think of BBC programming, the Benny Hill song automatically comes into my head.
